Migration Weather Forecast
Sunday Night
The high pressure system that built in behind Saturday night's front will continue to blow northwest winds over the mid-Atlantic. No migration is expected.
Monday Night
High pressure will begin to weaken as the mid-Atlantic gets squeezed between a cold front to the west, and a strong area of low pressure over Florida. Some models show winds actually turning south on Monday night, while others show a persistent, but light, northwest. For now we're only expecting a light migration on variable winds.
Tuesday Night
By Tuesday the front to our west will move close enough to set up more southerly flow, and therefore trigger moderate to heavy migration.
Wednesday Night
High pressure will continue to dominate on Wednesday night, with light southwest winds triggering another night of migration.
Birding Forecast
Monday Morning
The latest reports show good movement of Catharus thrushes and Blackpoll warblers, both of which are "later" spring migrants, and a sign that we're entering the latter part of the season. With little moving on Sunday night, a good rule of thumb is to head where good birding conditions have been recently reported.
Tuesday- Thursday Morning
Conditions after Monday should be relatively consistent, with light and variable winds dominating, and no precipitation on tap for most of the region. Given how light the winds are forecast, birds will tend to be widespread across the region. Hit the tried-and-true spring hotspots for the best results this coming week.
